Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I made money on eBay from my side hustle, do I have to pay taxes on it?”
Money earned on eBay from a side hustle is often treated differently depending on what was sold, whether the activity looks like a hobby or an ongoing business, and whether there were profits after expenses. The tax picture can also depend on whether items were sold for more than their original cost, if inventory or personal items were involved, and how the platform reported the payments. In many cases, the reporting rules hinge on the nature of the sales and the records kept for purchases, shipping, fees, and related costs. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
